    I seem to have an official copy of this exact photo. My one is cropped slightly different, showing more on the bottom and right of the photograph. The far right has a sign "TO LEFT BRIGADE SECTION". The top is trimmed the the height of the top of the first piece of hession on the far left. The back of the photo has stamped on it "Australian Official Photo No........" with the number E1889 hand written. "Purchased from Australian War Museum, Wool Exchange, King Street, Melbourne, COPYRIGHT, Prosecution will follow infringement. I also have a number of other photos relating to WW1 with the same stamp. Each photo has a typed description of the photo on the reverse. In the case of this particular photo above, the description reads as follows... "E1889 "Hellfire Corner" on the Menin Road, in the Ypres sector, in Belgium, on September 27th, 1917. This well-named locality was continually under observation, and notorious for it's danger; the neighbourhood was piled with the wreckage of all kinds of transport. A "sticky" spot that was always taken at the trot." I hope this is helpful to interested people.

    @ National Media Museum – Typo in title: Ninely

    From Science & Society Picture Library:

    "A photograph titled 'Ninety and Nine', showing an elderly shepherd carrying a lamb and holding a crook, taken by Colonel Joseph Gale (c 1835-1906) in 1890. This image of rustic life shows a shepherd resting at a gate to his field, a lamb under his arm. His faithful sheep-dog waits in the background for his master's next command.

    " 'Ninety and Nine' is a Biblical reference. The Gospel writer, Matthew, recounts Jesus' parable, 'The Lost Sheep' — about a shepherd with a 100 sheep who goes out to look for the one sheep that had gone missing. Joseph Gale specialised in naturalistic photographs of rural life and figures in landscapes. He was one of the first members of the Linked Ring Brotherhood and was also a member of the Royal Photographic Society."
